Prospective iPad buyer. Im deciding on the size; planning to get 16. Ill be loading a few ebooks, pdf & presentation slide. Not so much of music, a bit of pictures. Also I love playing games, so planning to buy games for the ipad, but i dont know the average size. Do you guys think 16 will be enough?

From all the feedback, it looks like going inbetween (32) is better.

Hopefully mu wallet will be able to withstand the damage...

Thanks all rclxms.gif

actually, anyone looking for iPad shud have some patience to wait abit more (lol after the long wait, y not wait lagi?)

its finally coming to malaysian shores soon officially, just in time before christmas?
is up2 u guys to believe me or not.
can't disclose more as its under NDA. smile.gif

my take on it:
1. 3g+wifi telco tied = maxis?
2. wifi = an AAR wif few chain stores countrywide & worldwide smile.gif . they might be carrying the 3g+wifi ver as well. AFAIK iPad launch will be done by them as well.
3. followed by rest of APR & AAR(leftovers?)
4. not enough stock, same case like iPhone 4. sad.gif

cheers. jsut my 2centz smile.gif

Hi guys, just encountered a problem today; I was waiting for a youtube video to load on my iPad and fell asleep. Later I woke up, my iPad refuse to respond; no matter which button I press the screen won't turn on. I though I totally drained my battery. After doing the reset, the iPad still have more than 40% battery left blink.gif

Anyone had a similar problem before? hmm.gif

Maxis announced this cause YES 4G was launched today @ Lot10, juz imagine, fastest internet (7MBps ~12MBps) @ rm67.50 for 3GB.........Maxis current 3GB @ rm68.00 if i am not mistaken ( sometimes surfing is slow like hell)

I hope their data plan is not their current data variant given a new name. That sucks.

Can I hope for a prepaid data plan? Dont't think so...

why not, go and buy the new hotlink prepaid broadband plan tat "run" on "hot ticket" for topup thumbup.gif

not many dealers selling this actually, ask around, they dun use normal topup card/coupons, it utilise "hot ticket for internet" based on quota thumbup.gif  like 500MB or 1GB

Is this the one where they say "put the sim into your mobile phone and select blablabla then put into your mifi/hspa devices"? Do I need to take the sim out and use a phone every time I need to topup? If yes sounds like a pain to me to use with the iPad cry.gif

Device pricing should be the ones you hear/read/saw tweeted about recently. Up to RM2599 for the 64GB 3G model.

So many people at machines klcc. Staff busy take out ipad boxes from box, accessory like cases and sleeves lying allover the place.

I for one am happy that finally official apple accessory available here with cheaper than gray market price thumbup.gif

If your current financial status doesn't allow you to purchase original apps/software, then you shouldn't be buying the iPad in the first place.
*
Agree; if you can't buy what you want now, just put it aside first. Save some money bit by bit ( maybe till iPad2 comes out lol).

Anyway, another thing isI keep watch of ipads apps and games that I want for price reduce, like the Black Friday deals; that was awesome! One time 1 developer made his app free coz he just became a father! thumbup.gif

I wonder how long your battery last on ipad 3g version ? With heavy usage like gaming surfing and watching videos. Any input?
*
Your mileage may vary but I turn on my 3G from morning (around 7 or 8 am). I usually use it to browse shopping site, watch youtube or play some short online games. It till last until I reach home at night.

Yours might be shorter as you mention you're a heavy user and movies.
